Note Submitter: tom at shrimponthebarbie dot co dot uk ---- Having found other examples of creating an array of MySql formmated dates, I created my own using checkdate(). The other mktime() based solutions were time zone dependant, and included hacks to get around this. Dates is dates and timestamps is timestamps in my opinion. Anyway, you might like to try this. Simply returns an array of MySql formatted dates in a range. function createDateRangeArray( $fromDate, $toDate) // YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD { $fromDate = (string) $fromDate; $toDate = (string) $toDate; $splitFrom = explode ( '-', $fromDate ); $splitTo = explode ( '-', $toDate ); if ( $fromDate <= $toDate && sizeof( $splitFrom ) == 3 && sizeof( $splitTo ) == 3 && checkdate( (int)$splitFrom[1], (int)$splitFrom[2], (int)$splitFrom[0] ) && checkdate( (int)$splitTo[1], (int)$splitTo[2], (int)$splitTo[0] ) ) { $dateRange = (array) $fromDate; $splitDate = $splitFrom; while ( $dateRange[ sizeof($dateRange)-1 ] != $toDate ) { if ( ! checkdate( $splitDate[1], ++$splitDate[2], $splitDate[0] ) ) { if ( ! checkdate( (int)++$splitDate[1], (int)$splitDate[2]=1, (int)$splitDate[0] ) ) { $splitDate[2] = $splitDate[1] = 1; $splitDate[0]++; } } $dateRange[] = str_pad($splitDate[0], 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT) .'-'. str_pad($splitDate[1], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT) .'-'. str_pad($splitDate[2], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); } } else { $dateRange = array(); } return $dateRange; }
